Provision server in Foreman - VMWare VM include CD-ROM and Memory\CPU Hotplug

Support
1

Hi,

Compute resource type is VMWare.
Provisioning Method is Network Based.

I want to create the VM bare metal with these changes:

  1. Hardware tab - Create with CDROM.
  2. Options tab – enable Memory\CPU Hotplug.

As of now it’s creating the VM without the cdrom and without the option to
add CPU/Memory online.
I couldn’t find any solution in google.

Need your help.

Thanks,
EddieM

Anyone?

Hello,

> 1) Hardware tab - Create with CDROM.

This is Feature #3910: for VMware compute resource (fog) give the option to add a cd drive to the created host - Foreman - as already stated
in that issue: if you need the CDROM because of installing VMware Tools,
this is not the case, IMHO.

This is Feature #4533: Boot options configuration for VMware guests - Foreman and not solved, yet.

Both features are probably (depending on the state of these features in
fog) not very hard to implement, but somebody has to do it. As I have no
access to vsphere anymore, I can't do it. Looking at http://git.io/vTpjP
how the Virtual HW version feature was implemented might help.

Best Regards
